Further proving the reports were true, McDaid also took to his Twitter account to post the same snapshot with the caption, "I'm engaged to her!"

The Cougar Town actress gushed about her then fiancé of 10 months to People, revealing, "He's a very sensitive soul," adding that she knew the Snow Patrol frontman was the one "when I knew that this was just who he is, that he was just a beautiful, sensitive, loving person with a wonderful family, and beautiful set of friends. Then I was like, "This is for real!" McDaid, a native Irishman, also gushed about his love for his new fiancé adding, "I just want to be with this woman for the rest of my life. That is all that matters."

Back in July of last year, the duo took a trip to McDaid's hometown of Derry, Ireland to explore possible wedding locations after having only been engaged for one month! The couple was rumored to have been browsing Ireland's Castle Leslie, the celebrated estate venue of Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills nuptials, and the Ramada Da Vinci Hotel, located in view of McDaid's hometown.
